about our up and coming

 Blog-Hop on January 30th

Hope you can all join us.

Now initially I thought, wow I love a challenge, then I thought how do I colour in black and white, then I just went with the flow and created this shaped easel card.

I have used a Go Kreate die for the shape of the card, with a black pearlescent card for the base layer and contrast.  The papers are Papermania Capsule Mono Collection called Liquorice the bows and ribbon are also from this collection.  The pearls are from Grimsby Crafts as is the little black flower on the return sentiment.  The return sentiment is by My Sentiments Exactly.  The flowers with a little diamond stickles are all from Wild Orchid.  A small nestie label has been used for the sentiment on the return and some gorgeous tag dies from spellbinders for the front sentiment. The lovely fronds of black peeking out of the flowers was a punch I purchased from the Doncaster Dome on my last splash out.

A couple of close ups for you

The return with the little black flower, this is cut from a spray of pearls a Prima pack I believe.

The easel itself

and finally get me, the image, just stamped, but you can use grey's for the little critters if you want.

The image is called "Signing A Card"
